Description from the seller
ALGOL – Vintage “Chronomètre” Pocket Watch
Description
A beautifully preserved ALGOL vintage pocket watch, proudly marked “Chronomètre” on the dial — a designation traditionally used for higher‑precision timepieces.
This example is in excellent condition, with no visible damage, a clean aesthetic, and a crisp, strong tick that reflects careful use and good mechanical health.
The movement is signed ALGOL, confirming authenticity. The case (most likely stainless steel) features an engraving on the back and distinct internal case markings, adding both character and collectability.
Although the ALGOL name does not correspond to a major documented manufacturer in public horological archives, many smaller European and Swiss firms produced high‑quality private‑label watches during the 20th century — often using reliable ébauche movements and marking them with unique brand names for jewelers or retailers
This is an elegant, functional pocket watch ideal for collectors of early 20th‑century European watchmaking or anyone appreciating vintage horological craftsmanship.
